Skyline Design

I made an impressionistic photo-collage of my neighbourhood, Manchester’s Northern Quarter and it’s distinctive skyline. As you can see from looking at my blog, I love texture and paper, and it wasn’t long before my bohemian skyline design became like a print on a crumpled paper shopping bag. Then I fed the images through the kaleidoscope on my phone and arrived at what appears to be lo-fi retro wallpaper prints. I love recycling stuff! You can see the original source images here and here.

The cat is an echo of Sparky, my old ginger tom who features in my avatar. Also, a cat used to live on the roof opposite my lounge window (until I called the RSPCA) which is where I got the chimney from. Some people throw bread for pigeons – I threw handfuls of tuna!

That would be fun to see something like that out your window. I used to be able to see a tiny Boston skyline way off in the distance only because it was an attic apartment. Now I just see trees but those are good too.
